Excerpt 3

“What’s it going to be?Open or closed?”

Selby stared at Garrett, considering her next move.She was incredibly turned on by him, but fear
held her back.

“Answer me,” he told her. His eyes smiled but his intense
stare warned her to obey.

“Open,” she whispered.

Selby could hardly believe that after all these years of
avoiding heights, she was agreeing to what he asked.It terrified her that he used his words to
push her, to arouse her.She wanted to
deny him, to deny herself the fantasies she’d never allowed herself to have
with another man.But even as she grew
wet from his suggestion, she couldn’t bring herself to admit to him that she
wanted it.

“Very well.Don’t
worry. I’ll never let anything happen to you,” he promised. He reached for her
hand, and slowly walked with her toward the railing.

It wasn’t lost on Selby that Garrett shielded her view.She came up behind him, clutching his shirt
with her free hand and trembled in fear as he placed her palm onto the iron
bar.

“Take a deep breath.You’re doing fine, sweetheart.”He turned to face her, and she forced her fingers to open, releasing the
fabric.“That’s it.Put your other hand here.”

As he settled her grip around the cold metal, Selby closed
her eyes.She felt the warmth of his
body behind her, the hardness of the rail brushing against her stomach.Blinking her eyes open, she continued to
shake as the pool came into view.

“I can’t do this. Garrett, please.You don’t want to see me like this.”

A memory of being rushed to hospital flashed in her
mind.It wasn’t the first time, it
wouldn’t be the last.It had been a
gorgeous day. She’d gone on a hike, traveled several hundred feet upward before
she’d realized heights were a trigger. The sight of Los Angeles had been
spectacular until she’d gone to walk back down.I’ll fall.I’m up so high. I
can’t move.Paralyzed, she’d cowered to
the ground.The pain in her chest
wouldn’t cease.She knew it was another
panic attack, but was at a loss as to how to control it.Garrett’s soothing voice brought her back
into the moment.

“I see you.Maybe
better than you see yourself.You’re
beautiful.” His hands never left her body as they grazed over her arms onto her
shoulders, then trailed down her back until they rested on the sides of her
thighs.

“I’m scared.I can’t
do this.” Selby shook her head.

“But you wanted to do this for me, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” she admitted.

“Why, Selby?”

“Are you trying to distract me?”

“Maybe, but the thing is, I want to get to know you.I want more than just working with you.”

“But you hardly talked to me in the office this week.Ever since the beach…” He hadn’t looked at
her with the slightest interest.

“By asking you here tonight, I’ve given you more access to
my life than ninety-nine percent of the people in my life.This is who I am…if you want to be with,” he
hesitated, “if you want to be with me, then there are certain things you’ll
have to accept.Lars…”

“He’s so mad at me.”Selby tried to turn her head to face him, but his hands held her thighs
still.

“Never.” His lips brushed her hair.“But I will push your limits of what you
think you’re capable of doing.You’re
brilliant. Even though you hold onto
these fears so tightly, I know you can embrace what we do.”

“I don’t know if I can.Lars says I don’t belong here.That I’ll never be right for you.But when I’m around you…” she whispered, “you make me feel…alive.”

“I want to fuck you right here.Will you let me do that?”

“What?Garrett…”
Selby laughed.Jesus almighty. She
couldn’t believe that she was three stories up, overlooking the pool and that
her first instinct was to say ‘yes’ to public sex.Before she had a chance to answer further,
his hands slipped underneath her dress.She gasped as his palms glided up her belly and cupped her bare breasts.

“No bra?”

“No, I…”

“Have you fantasized about my hands on you?”

“I can’t tell you that…”

“You have, haven’t you?Tell me.” His hand trailed down her abdomen, slipping into her panties.

“Please…I can’t…” Selby moaned as Garrett’s fingers pressed
through her wet lips.As he plunged a
thick digit into her core, she cried out.She’d yearned to have him touch her, had imagined it a million different
ways, but never had she thought he’d take her at the party.

“I was right…look at how wet you are, my brave girl.You know what I think, Selby?” His lips moved
to her neck.

“Oh God,” she cried as he pumped another finger inside her.

“I think you crave this…like a seedling waiting for the sun,
you’re going to bloom.”

Selby clutched the rail.His warm breath teased her ear and she shook her head, wishing she could
deny his words.But as his thumb flicked
at her clit, any ability to lie failed her.

“I want you so much,” she breathed.

“That’s better,” he encouraged.

“We shouldn’t,” she panted.

“We should.”

“Someone could see us.”

“It’s secluded.”

“I…ah…” Selby’s orgasm built and her eyes darted to the
deserted deck.Although they were
concealed in the shadows, music blared in the distance.

“Or would you like someone to watch?Do you want them to see you come?”

“No, I just want…”Selby attempted to stop her pussy from clamping down on his fingers at
the mention of exhibitionism, but her effort was thwarted as he rocked his
erection against her ass.

“Fuck, you surprise me…it excites you.Don’t worry, sweetheart.” He kissed her ear.
“We’ve got plenty of time for that.But
right now, I just want to make you feel good…any fear you felt is gone right
now, isn’t it?”

Selby’s head lolled over as he pinched at her clitoris.He added a third finger, and she cried his
name out loud.She was helpless to stop
it; her climax consumed her.Her hands
gripped at the bar as the violent spasms racked her body. Without warning, he
withdrew his fingers and she whined.The
crinkling sound of a condom was all she heard before he spread her legs with
his knee.

“Open for me,” he whispered into her ear.

“Garrett,” was all she could manage as he entered her from
behind.

Selby’s arousal spiked as he filled her to the hilt. The
sweet pain of her channel stretching brought her into focus.She wanted him more than the air she
breathed. Selby had never done anything like this before, but the more he
tested her, the more she embraced the rush he gave.

I used to be scared of the future, I didn't know where I'd end up, didn't know if the anger and bitterness inside me would ever truly go away, if I could ever feel worthy or find someone who'd be able to see through the asshole I pretended to be to the rest of the world.But I'm not scared anymore, and I did find someone who sees me. Who really, truly see me. And I see her, too. Ella Harper is all I'm ever going to see, because she's my future. She's my steel and my fire and my salvation.She's everything.Yes, I have been absolutely ruined by the Royals. Reed Royal is my everything.

If you haven't read the first two books in this series, Paper Princess and Broken Prince, seriously, one click them or buy them right now! I had to own both the ebook and hard copy because I am obsessed with this series.

My most anticipated book so far this year was Twisted Palace. And like the two books before, it did not disappoint. There are so many twists and turns …

If there's one thing we know about Lance Romero from the beginning of the Pucked Series, is that the ladies love him and Lance Romance loves them right back. Admittedly he has the worst reputation of his teammates and for the most part he owns that reputation and maybe even deserves it a little.
I have to admit now as much as I am all about Alex Waters, Lance Romero has definitely found a place in my heart. I mean the cover model by himself for Pucked Off is a complete fantasy. I don't think I've ever seen a cover model that completely embodies their character until Lance. Then you add Helena's story, which I couldn't put down and you have a book boyfriend that melted my heart with each turn of the page.
Lance's story is much more complicated than the other members of his team. His past is dark and he carries around that darkness inside of him. At first, I thought Tash was definitely the girl for him and I figured Helena would write Lance's story in tha…

I have always been crazy about reading. When I'm in a bad mood, a good book can definitely take me to another place. I've always enjoyed young adult and paranormal books. I have recently become a huge fan of new adult literature and believe or not, I still like to read a good classic when the mood hits me.
As a teacher, I'm forever telling my first graders about how reading is the key to everything they need in life. If I didn't read I'd be lying to 6 year olds. Clearly something I'd rather not do.
Anyway, I wish my own kids loved reading as much as me, but they take after their dad!!
I've also been dabbling in writing....so who knows? Someone might be reviewing my work on Goodreads someday!!
